Taylor Swift has a bad girl makeover as she puts on sexy Brits performance of I Knew You Were Trouble

With her country pop songs and girl-next-door look, Taylor Swift isn't exactly considered edgy by the music industry.
However, the blonde star attempted to give herself a bad girl makeover as she put on a sexier, rockier performance than usual.
The singer, 23, arrived on stage in a white floor-length gown, before stripping off to reveal a racy black playsuit.

Bad girl: Taylor Swift wears a racy black playsuit as she sings I Knew You Were Trouble at the Brit Awards

Who knew she could dance? Taylor performed with a troupe of male dancers

Taylor has chosen to sing her track I Knew You Were A Trouble - which she reportedly wrote about ex-boyfriend Harry Styles when they briefly dated first time round in March 2012.

 

After their brief flirtation in the Spring, the couple started dating properly in November that year, before splitting days into 2013 after an 'almighty row' in the Caribbean.
Of course, during the song, Harry was sitting a short distance away with his One Direction bandmates.

Leg up: Taylor's performance was a lot more raunchy than what we're used to from the American singer

During her energetic dance routine, she body-humped one of her male dancers and lay on the floor as she enjoyed a rock chick moment during one long note.
Her colourful performance appeared to outshine One Direction's jumping around on a giant pinball to their new single One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks).
The American arrived on stage being carried by her dancers, wearing a dramatic floor-length white gown.

Halfway through her performance, she stripped it off to reveal her playsuit - which included sheer lace panels and bottom-grazing hotpants.
Robbie Williams was certainly impressed as he talked to host James Corden after her set.
He said: 'She's really fit.... That was really great. What a good tune.'

Perhaps referring to the long list of Taylor's past celebrity lovers, Robbie added cheekily: 'It'll be my go soon.'
However, it appeared Taylor's sexy, dance performance had stunned many viewers who had tuned in to watch ITV's live footage of the ceremony.

One fan wasn't impressed with her dancing, tweeting: 'When taylor swift starting dancing on the brit awards.. such an awkward thing to watch.'
